@canonlawyered Ed, Karlson is so below you, better not to engage at all. Let he and his ilk wallow in their own filth.

While I appreciate innovation in the processed frozen potato space, how am I going to be able to tell my Dino Tots from my chicken nugget Dino Buddies when I am enjoying fine dining?

@frobrien No Maximilian Kolbe? What are they teaching kids these days.

I kid, I kid. What a fantastic lineup of saintly patrons! Prayers for your confirmandi!

@BrunoHeisey @adrianmckinty THANK YOU. I knew he reminded me of someone!

The actor in Rome, Ian McNeice, is fantastic.

@af7o Breakfast was bacon, followed by a bacon sandwich for lunch. Dinner was a glorious feast at the parish Meating Friday potluck!

[Ken Hallenius @khiddy]

A blessed MEATING Friday to you all! Christ is risen! Alleluia!

@DraxTemerity @Daniel_Sugarman Oh the irony.

@iGreenGod Literally just saw this same joke on Frasier S9E24 (originally aired May 21, 2002), spoken by Brian Cox as Harry Moon (Daphne's father). Funny then, still funny today.

@nic_carter @JRobFreedom I think you meant “When Harry Became Sally,” by @RyanTAnd.

@cecsquared A local fine dining restaurant invited diners to “indulge in our special Lenten tasting menu.” Avoiding meat just to gorge on lobster and scallops seems counter to the spirit of penance, methinks.

@belkin Avoid this and all other @belkin products, because they’ll drop all support and you’ll be stuck with nothing but worthless bricks.

@Belkin do the right thing and bring back the WeMo cloud. Successful companies don’t abandon their users.

@StuffForSisters Can confirm. Extremely disappointing. Not even a mention of the Milky Way. Didn't produce one Snicker from me.
